Do you know the Italian Progetto Manuzio?
(http://www.liberliber.it/index.html)
At this site you can find the e-text of classical italian writers. Of
course, there is Dante!
Two years ago with my student I attended to the electronic version of Decameron.
We are working now to produce the electronic version of Orlando Furioso. It
will be available in three/four weeks.
If you are interested in other Dante's texts you can see also

The Duecento archive, made by Francesco Bonomi, is aimed at collecting the
largest possible number of italian poems belonging to the so-called
Duecento (the period from the origins of italian poetry up to Dante
Alighieri included). Up to now Duecento collects:
2.400 poems
85.000 verses
350.000 words
3.000.000 characters
This is, as far as I know, the largest corpus of italian poetry from that
period to be made available, a must (IMHO) for anyone researching old
italian poetry, literature or language!.
The Duecento Archive exists in two versions: a primitive on-line version; a
full-fledged search engine running under MS-Windows
The MS-windows version fits on 4 HD floppies, requiring around 8 MByte of
disk space for the installation, and comes with a custom search software I
have developped for the archive. Among its features:
instant full text searches
wildcard searches (sort of regular expressions)
on-line help (in italian)
specific features for poetry works (rhyme searches etc.)
keyword-in-context display
I suggest you to read this Duecento page. It's great !!!!!
Bye.
